So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. -2 Thessalonians 1:11(NLT)

KEEP ON PRAYING

A poem and essay by ILMA

When you are facing trials, keep on praying

The Lord is close to those who are suffering

When you need to make a decision, continue to ask

The Lord wants you to have wisdom and constantly trust.

Ask God that he will enable you to live a life that’s worthy

After all, He made you in his image and he is Almighty

May the Lord stir you to constantly ask in his name

It benefits your spirit to be humble and not ashamed.

How often do you pray? It is sad to know that even those who claim they are Christians never find time to pray or spend time with the Lord. No wonder, they go to the same mountains again and again and have not experienced breakthroughs. Many people think that praying is hard work and make an excuse that they won’t have the time to do so. This is the work of the enemy, to keep us away from asking and communicating with God in a personal way just like a little child would do. If we keep on praying, we will experience more miracles.

PRAYER

Lord, thank you for having the freedom to choose to always connect with you.

REFLECTION

How can praying make us more like our heavenly Father?
